Police in Sydney's west say they hold grave concerns for the welfare of a man who was abducted from his home last week.
Brendan Vollmost has not been seen since March 31, when he returned to his home on Cox St at South Windsor about 10:30pm.
The 23-year-old was allegedly assaulted by a group of men before being driven away in a white hatchback.
Detective Superintendent Luke Moore said police had received a number of leads since Strike Force Orander was established.
"Mr Vollmost is known to police for some property offences and some relatively minor drug matters," he said.
"His background and his associations are very important to our inquiry."
In a public appeal today, Detective Superintendent Moore said Mr Vollmost's family had not heard from him and there had been no activity with his bank accounts.
"We do, of course, hold grave fears for Mr Vollmost's safety," he said.
"His family, as you can understand, are extremely distraught and concerned for his welfare."
Detectives have spoken to a number of witnesses, but at this stage the motive behind the attack is not clear.
Police said Mr Vollmost was with three friends at the time, one of whom ran with him to the back of the house and was also attacked.

There was evidence at the crime scene of what Detective Superintendent Moore described as a "serious assault".
"There was a lot of blood at the crime scene," he said.
Witnesses told police the attack lasted for about a minute before Mr Vollmost was abducted.
Detective Superintendent Moore said the whereabouts of the white car involved in the abduction could be a vital clue.
"That white, small vehicle, which we believe to be a Hyundai i30 or similar vehicle, is central to our inquiries," he said.
"To date we haven't been able to identify that exact vehicle or its whereabouts.
"Part of our appeal today is to any panel beaters, smash repairers, who may have knowledge of a similar vehicle that sustained damage in the past week or so."
The front driver's side panel near the headlight of the car is believed to be damaged.
Police believe the hatchback collided with a car Mr Vollmost was travelling in shortly before he was abducted.
"We can't rule out that that car is a hire car," Detective Superindent Moore said.
"We're also asking any hire companies who may have knowledge of a similar vehicle being outstanding or having damage to get in contact with us."
